Season and Sitting in Meditation

According to Shaolin Temple’ s rules, summer is mainly for expounding and studying sutra, winter is mainly for Chan Qi and sitting in meditation. During the cold weather of winter with the grains in storage, it is easier for people to reign in their mind, and is therefore, the perfect time for Chan Qi. In the past, many masters and achieved practitioners had attained enlightenment when they were undergoing Chan Qi in the meditation hall.
